THE COMPANY Mr. Jerry Trooien will be the general partner of the Hampden Building Limited Partnership. Mr. Trooien is an experienced real estate developer currently holding interest in 16 different real estate projects, the majoriLy of which are housing related. 2. THE PROJECT The Hampden Building is located at 830 Hampden Avenue in the Midway area. The building is currently 40% occupied and in substandard condition. Mr. Trooien, acting as general partner, intends to syndicate a limited partnership allowing him to recover current expenses in making emergency building repairs and the recent acquisition of the property. It is estimated that it will cost $500,000 to $600,000 to remodel the building and bring it into code compliance. The additional proceeds of the $1 million issue will be used to pay for those repairs and acquisition costs alluded to earlier. The gross square footage of the building is 46,600 square feet with a net rentable area of 41 ,600. A portion of this space is currently occupied; consequently, the spec space remaining should not have a significant effect on the market in the Midway area. The owner's projections regarding building income for each type of use and the floors are attached for your review.

FINANCING Staff is recommending approval of a tax exempt mortgage (non-876) for a term of 30 years which will be privately placed not to exceed $1 million. The Port Authority will act as trustee collecting rental payments monthly and its normal fiscal and administrative fees. The mortgage has not yet been placed with a financial institution. The preliminary agreement as drafted specifically staies that this cannot be taken out with an 876 revenue bond should the agreement not be placed. The purpose in requesting preliminary approval at this time is to allow Mr. Trooien to go into the building and make necessary repairs that are code related which allows the current tenants to continue to occupy the building. 4. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff has met with District 12 and reviewed the project in detail ; the District 12 Community Council has approved the project. This development will create an additional 30 jobs in the Midway area and improve a substandard building. In view of the fact that the Port Authority is not put at risk on this issue, staff recorrnnends approval of Resolution Nos. 2140 and 2141 .
